Doucement les jeunes !!!


I love this old hand painted truck.  On the back is painted "Doucement les jeunes!!!  j'ai 40 ans" which I will translate as "Careful youngsters!!!  I'm 40 years old."  I snapped this little treasure on rue Nationale, the main shopping street in Amboise, while the owner was in buying a baguette at the boulangerie in the background.

  4. I photographed one of these in Azay le Rideau today. I'm in the market for one, btw. I want one as my runabout for the orchard and such like. I've seen the one in your photo somewhere too.

    1. Our neighbor had a 30 year old Clio that he was using like a little pickup truck for his garden. We called it the jardi-mobile.
